Wise pattern breast reduction and same time left breast lumpectomy for cancer.
52 yo with early stage left breast cancer underwent left breast lumpectomy and axillary lymph node dissection and same time bilateral breast reduction – Wise pattern free nipple graft technique. Pre op 42 H to post op 42 D cup.
The patient did not require post lumpectomy and axillary breast radiation treatment as her cancer was focal, early stage and with good characteristics that given the widely clear large margins achieved with a breast reduction at time of her lumpectomy radiation treatment which is the standard when a lumpectomy alone is done to cure breast cancer was deemed unnecessary. She is closely followed with her oncologist, breast surgeon and myself and remains cancer and disease free.
